This report studies the global diagnostic oral care products market over the forecast period 2011-2016.

The oral care products market (or dental consumables) includes the small tools and products used to deliver dental care, such as biomaterials, prostheses, endodontic, orthodontic and periodontic products, restoratives, alloys, cements, bonding agents, impression materials, preventives, disposables, and other products.

The increasing ageing population across the globe and a concurrent increase in demand for enhanced oral care offers huge opportunities for product innovation and differentiation to dental care providers. Most providers practice direct customer interaction to improve sales and increase awareness towards their products as well as overall oral health. Moreover, increasing awareness in the developing nations about oral hygiene and new product developments has also given a boost to the dental consumables market. Rising demand for aesthetic dentistry and growing dental tourism further ensures growth of this market in coming years.

Introduction of CAD/CAM technology has considerably reduced the designing time for dental prostheses like crowns and bridges and 3D imaging techniques have improved patient diagnosis and procedure planning. While lack of consumer awareness in developing economies may hinder market growth, industry players still have immense growth opportunities due to less stringent regulations with respect to introduction of new and advanced products and also their pricing. Increasing insurance coverage in the developed countries and rising income levels in developing nations like India and China are also expected to contribute significantly to the growth of this market.
